No matter how many baby books you read or parenting classes you take, there’s bound to be a bit of a learning curve when you first bring home that bundle of joy from the hospital. You may think you know what it means to be sleep-deprived, spit-up-on, and dealing with lactation for the first time, but just you wait! It’s harder than you think, but of course, totally worth it.
During what can be some of the most trying days of your life there’s ample opportunity to find the humor in the situation. Because sometimes you just have to laugh!
